You Know that White Stuff???

This has been a VERY, VERY, VERY mild winter.  Devin has not shoveled once this winter.  Last year our kids didn't get to play in the snow much.  Nicholas was a newborn and Anna always had a cold.  I was really excited to get some good snow play time this year.  Unfortunately you need snow in order to play in the snow.
A miracle happened Tuesday, it snowed!  It stuck to the ground!  Not a lot, but it was enough to play in.  I didn't care that both of my kids had bad runny noses.  Who cares!  They need to play in the snow.  We pulled out all the snow gear and had a great time.  This was Nicholas's first experience in the snow.

He did spend most of the time like this...

and this...

Anna was in heaven.  She was out the door and playing long before Nicholas was ready to go.

She enjoyed having another little person to play in the snow with her.

Anna was able to build a snowman.  It was really good packing snow.

We had to do a little defending to protect the snowman from Nicholas.  Nicholas just wanted to give the snowman a hug and touch his eyes and nose.

We didn't stay out for too long.  The kids had a great time.  When we came in they didn't want to take their snow stuff off.  They had tons of fun running around in their snow bibs.

I had Activity Days that same day, so Devin came home to watch the kids.  He took them back out to enjoy the snow.  Both kids loved it!  Hopefully we will get more snow, but at least we got to play in the snow once this year.
